Slice the lamb into long, thin sheets.
Grate the onions and extract their juice.
Mix the meat with onion juice, yogurt, salt, black pepper, and purple basil.
Marinate the meat in the refrigerator for 12 hours.
Thread the meat and tail fat tightly onto a horizontal skewer.
Roast the skewer over a strong grill for 35 minutes, turning it.
Slice off the browned outer layer thinly and place it on small cag skewers.
Sear the slices on the grill for 2 more minutes and serve.
💡 Tip: Marinating the meat for at least 12 hours relaxes the fibers and keeps it from toughening on the quick grill. Turn the marinade container a few times; slices of equal thickness brown evenly on the skewer.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve hot from the skewers with lavash, roasted onion, tomatoes, and ayran.
